While in most cases the availability of things like PCB's can be
controlled, the DRO kits - for instance - have been out of stock for a
couple of months. But then personally I do not take orders then until I
know that the problem is going to be solved.

I am about to start down a line which is reliant on supplies from China
and if demand gets too high we may have a problem with supply but I
again I would expect NOT to be taking money until goods were at least
actually in transit. It's a pity that the like of the USPS and Royal
Mail can then be relied on to take weeks to actually deliver. ( Just
received a shipment from the US that took two weeks to get across! )
